Y

Although very popular at the end of words, the letter Y is much more restrained about starting them. Normally positioned to deal with pronouns, adverbs, and adjectives, this powerful, but frequently misunderstood letter can make you the actor in your own little play. A youngster when it comes to the alphabet, Y also is the alphabetic cheerleader, highly involved in Yes, Yelping, and Yahooing. Scattered interests include yarns, yodeling music, and yellow yaks.

Always up for a yawning or yelling contest, this letter is forever young and always yearning for a good time, even if it has to be at the front of the titles in this category.
